Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-05

What Clarko captures on your computer

While Clarko is running, the desktop app captures the following locally on your PC:

• Screenshots of your monitors every ~2 seconds (kept in memory only, last 16 seconds)
• Audio playing through your speakers (kept in memory only, last 5 minutes)
• Your microphone, only when you press the hotkey

None of this is written to disk or transmitted anywhere unless you trigger a question.

What gets sent off your computer, and when

Only when you press the hotkey and ask a question, the following is sent:

• A transcription of your voice (made locally via Whisper)
• A transcription of recent system audio (also local)
• A few recent screenshots, downscaled

This is sent to our backend, which forwards it to Anthropic's API to generate a response. Anthropic processes the data per their privacy policy; they do not train on it by default.

What we store

• Your email address and Stripe customer/subscription ID
• An access token used to authenticate the desktop app
• Daily aggregate counts of how many requests/tokens your account has used (no contents)

We do not store your screenshots, audio, transcripts, or Claude's responses on our servers.

Pause / delete

You can pause all capture from the tray icon at any time. To delete your account and data, email hello@clarko.app.
